The Fair is certainly exciting, fascinating and productive, but it is also exhausting. Even though we weren’t competing for extra prize money this year (we won two years in a row and had to sit this year out) and took a lot of breaks from entertaining the crowds, we couldn’t help ourselves and so now, it is just plain good to be home. Back to doin’ regular stuff. Like blogging about our lives.
And catching up on the header challenge. Please go visit the other participants: Dave, Fishing_Guy, Mac, and Gail’s Man. Say hi and how much you liked their idea of “Water Reflection – Inanimate Object”.
This picture is my favorite for this week’s header challenge, reflections of the non-animal type, it says it all. We’re home from the Fair, fall is beginning and the wedding is behind us.
Yep, it’s true, with the wedding behind us that means my Anna is now living somewhere else with a different name, a different identity, and new interests. And yes, that tugs at my mommy-heart but not really as it is clearly what God led us to and therefore a very good thing. More on the wedding later (I wasn’t allowed to carry my camera around so I am waiting on the photos of others, and perspective)
Since being home Bet and I have ridden the horses, located the summer kittens and fed and smooched them.
And spying webs everywhere, including the tree tops.
I’m glad autumn is here, I am so very ready. Time to sink my teeth into evaluating the year. Fall, the end of September and on into October, is my New Year. Time to put things to rest and plan out the next year. So lots to reflect on while standing at the waters edge. Thanks Tom for such a specific topic this week, it cut down on my thinking!
Lanny: Very cool reflection photo, certainly fills the bill for this week. I love your spider web, looks like a strong one.
love the web photo! and oh how i remember the feeling when d#1 and her new hubby pulled out of the driveway to go start their new life. sigh… and now lala, her daughter is 23 today! time is fleeting.

It looks a great place to just sit and relax and contemplate on a busy year. Reflections of various types well done.
Home is always a good place to be for me. Sounds like the same for you too. Lovely pictures, Lanny.
Beautiful surroundings that God has blessed you with Lanny. The reflection photos are beautiful. Hope you rest well.
Hi Lanny, Oh your web photo is awesome!
Sometimes it is hard to let go of the strings that bind us to our children..sometimes it takes awhile to sink in. You do want them to grow up..and that is what you have raised them up to do all these years..we cannot mother hen them forever..because they need to be mama hens themselves:)
